A Diplomat in Japan is the memoir of Ernest Mason Satow, a British diplomat who spent over 20 years in Japan during the pivotal period of its transition from the Tokugawa Shogunate to the Meiji Restoration. Satow’s firsthand accounts and observations offer unique insights into the dramatic political, social, and cultural changes Japan underwent in the 19th century. His experiences span from the opening of Japan’s ports to foreign trade after over two centuries of isolation to the restoration of the Japanese monarchy, with an intimate look at the country’s leaders, key diplomatic moments, and the interactions between Japan and the Western powers.

Satow, who played a crucial role in British-Japanese relations, presents an engaging narrative filled with detailed accounts of important events such as the signing of treaties, conflicts, the role of Western diplomats, and the daily life of the Japanese during this transformative era. His writings are invaluable for understanding Japan’s rise as a modern nation and the challenges it faced during this period of intense reform.

This edition by ICG Muse reprints Satow’s work in a modern format, preserving the historical importance of the memoir while making it accessible to contemporary readers interested in Japan’s early modernization and international relations.
